Most law students take their first introductory course in environmental law during their second year of law school.

They also tend to view the lawmaking and interpretive process through the traditional lens of congressional …

If relying on neoliberal environmental reform (i.e., facing this reality regardless of one’s view of this turn), regulation and checks on these reforms are required. This Article argues that in light of the shift from traditional to neoliberal “substantive” …
